ABOUT

Independent Directors serve as an important institution of corporate governance, significantly contributing to boards by bringing diverse sets of skills as well as independent judgement on critical problems. Independent Directors must act as custodians of good governance by effectively monitoring and advising. They must act in the best interests of the company and all stakeholders.

​

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs recognises the importance of bolstering the institution of Independent Directors and intensifying its effectiveness by developing a pool of skilled professionals to serve as Agents of Change. MCA has generated a databank for Independent Directors in accordance with Section 150 of the Companies Act, 2013.

 

Simultaneously, the Ministry has provided for the capacity building of Independent Directors through an integrated Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver an interactive and engaging library of eLearning courses, operating as a facilitator and educator.
